The Mind Has No Firewall - excerpt from an Army article on psychotronic weapons

The following article excerpt is from the US military publication Parameters, subtitled "US Army War College Quarterly." It describes itself as
"The United States Army's Senior Professional Journal."
From "The Mind Has No Firewall" by Timothy L. Thomas. Parameters, Spring 1998, pp. 84-92:

An entirely new arsenal of weapons, based on devices designed to introduce subliminal messages or to alter the body's psychological and
data-processing capabilities, might be used to incapacitate individuals. These weapons aim to control or alter the psyche, or to attack the various
sensory and data-processing systems of the human organism. In both cases, the goal is to confuse or destroy the signals that normally keep the body in
equilibrium.

Russian Views on "Psychotronic War"

The term "psycho-terrorism" was coined by Russian writer N. Anisimov of the Moscow Anti-Psychotronic Center. According to Anisimov, psychotronic
weapons are those that act to "take away a part of the information which is stored in a man's brain. It is sent to a computer, which reworks it to
the level needed for those who need to control the man, and the modified information is then reinserted into the brain." These weapons are used
against the mind to induce hallucinations, sickness, mutations in human cells, "zombification," or even death. Included in the arsenal are VHF
generators, X-rays, ultrasound, and radio waves. Russian army Major I. Chernishev, writing in the military journal Orienteer in February 1997,
asserted that "psy" weapons are under development all over the globe. Specific types of weapons noted by Chernishev (not all of which have
prototypes) were:

A psychotronic generator, which produces a powerful electromagnetic emanation capable of being sent through telephone lines, TV, radio networks,
supply pipes, and incandescent lamps.

An autonomous generator, a device that operates in the 10-150 Hertz band, which at the 10-20 Hertz band forms an infrasonic oscillation that is
destructive to all living creatures.

A nervous system generator, designed to paralyze the central nervous systems of insects, which could have the same applicability to humans.

Ultrasound emanations, which one institute claims to have developed. Devices using ultrasound emanations are supposedly capable of carrying out
bloodless internal operations without leaving a mark on the skin. They can also, according to Chernishev, be used to kill.

Noiseless cassettes. Chernishev claims that the Japanese have developed the ability to place infra-low frequency voice patterns over music,
patterns that are detected by the subconscious. Russians claim to be using similar "bombardments" with computer programming to treat alcoholism or
smoking.

The 25th-frame effect, alluded to above, a technique wherein each 25th frame of a movie reel or film footage contains a message that is picked up
by the subconscious. This technique, if it works, could possibly be used to curb smoking and alcoholism, but it has wider, more sinister applications
if used on a TV audience or a computer operator.

Psychotropics, defined as medical preparations used to induce a trance, euphoria, or depression. Referred to as "slow-acting mines," they could
be slipped into the food of a politician or into the water supply of an entire city. Symptoms include headaches, noises, voices or commands in the
brain, dizziness, pain in the abdominal cavities, cardiac arrhythmia, or even the destruction of the cardiovascular system.

When are world governments going to realise that these kinds of things are a disgrace to humanity?

If the world leaders spent as much money and time on trying to do good things for the people as they do trying to figure out ways to destroy us,
wouldn't the Earth be a wonderful place to live?

But no, all they care about is their ego's. They will bring about the end of civilisation as we know it. Some madman will press the button, like a
child, simply because things aren't going his way.

It's no wonder that everybody is just sitting at home waiting for the appocalypse to happen. My god, when are they going to get it into their heads
that to survive, the human race must live in harmony, or face certain destuction.

kinda brings new meaning to M.A.D.... psychoenergetics (mind control) weapons counter crew that will lauch nukes back at the enemy, or either
'mind-control' the crew before launching your nukes...

"A TOP-SECRET project in the former Soviet Union in the 1970s turned soldiers and security agents into programmable "human weapons" and
is now being exploited by mobsters and private firms, it was claimed today.

The psychological weapon project relied on hypnosis and high-frequency radio waves to turn members of the Soviet security forces and military into
fearless, conscienceless fighting machines, said a programme on German television.

The Psychotronic Influence System relied on passwords and numbered codes to activate its subjects.

After the KGB project's existence was made public hundreds of former Soviet soldiers, police, and KGB members have sought health damages.

However the programme said some special Russian police units still use the system today and it has found its way on to the free market, where
mobsters and private security firms are using it, the programme reported.--AP."

The development of the majority of these devices is fairly old news, as fully functioning versions of some of these devices have been fielded and have
even been openly marketed. In addition, that article is from a 1998 edition of the journal, so you can imagine the advancements that have been made
in the technology.
